I was trying to figure out a good place to install the rear PIR sensor without making it too visible. One of my first thought on the idea was to install the sensor in the rear bumper just above the licence plate area, the only thing about that idea I didn't like was that I would have needed to drill a hole in the bumper and mount the sensor box in behind the hole with the white fresnel dome poking through the bumper. With it being white I felt it would stand out too much even though it would be a pretty clean install method I just did not like the idea of this "White Spot" on K.I.T.T.'s nice black bumper, so what to do? My 2nd thought was to perhaps make some sort of bracket that the sensor could be attached too and have it installed a little more out of sight under the rear bumper. So I made this aluminum bracket I will test out and see if it works well in that location. A little experimenting will be no doubt in order but if it catches infrared motion fine there then all good as the sensor will be a little more less noticeable.
